Penn pals?

03/03/2011

The most unlikely Hollywood pairing since Lindsay Lohan and Calum Best first crossed swords has just emerged, causing ripples of shock, awe and confusion. Sightings of Scarlett Johannson and Sean Penn in intimate clinches have been reported, and only two days ago, the pair flew to Mexico for a romantic getaway.

According to Perez Hilton, 'They were last seen at the resort's spa bar, drinking margaritas, talking, smoking and nibbling on ceviche. When they finished, they left quietly and casually, but also hand in hand.' Another well-placed and gossipy source said, 'Their first hook-up was in Scarlett's bungalow at the time. Scarlett first reached out to Sean when she was planning to visit Haiti with Oxfam. She knew Sean was living there in a tent and turned to him for advice.'

Just as an addendum to this tale of young love, Scarlett is 26 while Sean is 50. Just sayin'...
